Letter from John Byrne to William Loeb
Railroad executive John Byrne tells William Loeb that Canada’s “high government circles” have thoroughly discussed Prime Minister Sir Wilfred Laurier’s reply to Senator Charles W. Fairbanks declining the invitation to reassemble the joint high commission. Byrne cautions it is useless for President Roosevelt to press the question. Upon his return, Byrne will advise Roosevelt on responding to the proposed bill on fixed freight rates.
